Jim Carrey Accused of Being Imposter After César Awards

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Time after time, fans declare a celebrity to be “unrecognizable.”

But what happens when a beloved actor is fully recognizable, but something seems vaguely off?

All sorts of rumors — some as unhinged as human cloning — circulated following Jim Carrey’s recent time on stage.

Did he send a stunt double to give a speech in another language and accept his award?

There’s just something a little different …

On Thursday, February 26, Carrey delighted the crowd at the César Awards in Paris.

There, he received honors and delivered a speech in French to the audience.

Director Michel Gondry introduced him on stage.

Carrey gave a shout-out to his partner, telling his girlfriend: “Thank you to my sublime companion, Min Ah. I love you.”

However, following his appearance at the show, a curious kind of buzz began to circulate online.

Simply put, Carrey looks a little different, here.

Most online commenters were sort of vague about what seemed different. Others were hyper-specific.

His cheekbones look very rounded and smooth. The sides of his jaw are, perhaps, a little more textured than they once were.

Not for nothing, but this is the best hair that Carrey has ever had.

On top of everything else, he moved his jaws differently when forcing his mouth to do the unthinkable — speak in French.

Was that not the real man? Was that an imposter? A stunt double? A CLONE?

We hope that we do not have to explain to anyone that human cloning is not real yet. The tech isn’t there.

(And, if we did have functional human cloning tech, we’d be using it to grow replacement organs — not impersonate celebrities for vague conspiratorial reasons that only make sense to those suffering from delusions.)

However, it is tragically normal for human bodies to age and, yes, even change over time. Especially when that person is 64.

That has not stopped wild speculation to suggest that, perhaps by means of Mission Impossible face mask technology, someone had stepped in to impersonate Carrey in front of the crowd, viewers at home, and his more-than-half-a-dozen guests.

A prank that makeup artist Alexis Stone — Elliot Joseph Rentz — played on Instagram after the fact didn’t help.

Stone’s Instagram post showed a combination of actual photos of Carrey alongside makeup props that one could conceivably use to mimic his appearance.

This included an elaborate face mask and even a wig.

Stone’s page is full of steal-their-look feats.

This, however, appears to have been merely a prank.

It fooled some people, though!

What is the truth?

It is wild to live through a time when it feels like the very concept of truth is actively being killed before our eyes. But the truth does exist.

Carrey’s publicist, Marleah Leslie, has confirmed to TMZ that “Jim Carrey attended the César Awards, where he accepted his Honorary César Award.”

We can’t think of a better place to accept a César Award, to be honest.

Additionally, a delegate of the César Awards confirmed his attendance to Variety.

It’s really useful to be able to differentiate between things that are real and pretend. Human cloning is not yet real. Mission Impossible face masks aren’t, either. What reason would he have for either even if he could?

Eric Dane’s Official Cause of Death Revealed, So Very Tragic

Reading Time: 3 minutes

As you very likely know by now, Eric Dane died last month at the age of 53.

As you also likely know at this point, the veteran actor — best known for roles in Grey’s Anatomy and Euphoria — had been diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

According to the star’s official death certificate, meanwhile, we can now confirm that Dane died from respiratory failure… with ALS listed as an underlying cause of death.

Dane is survived by his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, and their two kids: Billie Beatrice, 15, and Georgia Geraldine, 13.

Dane’s family previously confirmed the actor’s death on February 19.

“With heavy hearts, we share that Eric Dane passed on Thursday afternoon following a courageous battle with ALS,” his family wrote at the time.

“He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world. Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight.

“He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always. Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he’s received.

“The family has asked for privacy as they navigate this impossible time.”

Also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, ALS is a progressive degenerative disease that affects the nerve cells, leading to eventual paralysis of the muscles, according to the Mayo Clinic. There is no cure.

Toward the end of his life, Dane had basically lost the ability to speak.

“I have been diagnosed with ALS,” Dane said in April 2025. “I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.

“I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week. I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.”

Since Dane’s passing, a number of celebrities have posted messages of sympathy and sorrow on social media.

“I have no reason to be in a good spirit at any time, on any given day, I don’t think anybody would blame me if I went upstairs in my bedroom, crawled under the sheets, and spent the next two weeks crying,” Dane said in a virtual panel featuring I AM ALS and Synapticure co-founders Brian Wallach and Sandra Abrevaya for Giving Tuesday on December 2.

“I was a little bit pleasantly surprised when I realized that I wasn’t built like that, because I thought for sure that was gonna be me…

“It’s imperative that I share my journey with as many people as I can because I don’t feel like my life is about me anymore.”

News of Meadows’ passing comes courtesy of a social media post from another of the show’s stars, Captain Rick Shelford.

According to Shelford, Meadows died Wednesday aboard the Aleutian Lady on the Bering Sea.

“February 25, 2026 was the most tragic day in the history of the Aleutian Lady on the Bering Sea,” Shelford’s post reads.

“We lost our brother, Todd Meadows. Todd was the newest member of our crew, he quickly became family. His love for fishing and his strong work ethic earned everyone’s respect right away,” Shelford continued, adding:

Though little is known about Meadows’ personal life, Shelford revealed that he was a father:

“His smile was contagious, and the sound of his laughter coming up the wheelhouse stairs or over the deck hailer is something we will carry with us always,” Shelford wrote.

“Todd’s love for his children, his family, and his life was evident in everything he did. He worked hard, loved deeply, and brought joy to those around him,” he continued, adding:

“Right now, our hearts are broken in a way that words can’t fully express. We ask that you lift Todd’s children and family in prayer and keep them in your thoughts as they face the days ahead without him.

“Todd will forever be part of this boat, this crew, and this brotherhood. Though we lost him far too soon, his legacy will live on through his children and in every memory we carry of him. Rest easy brother, till we meet again.”

A GoFundMe page launched in Todd’s memory has already raised more than $12,000.

Our thoughts are with Todd Meadows’ family as they begin to try and process this terrible tragedy.

Jelly Roll Reveals ‘Secret’ Hospitalization, Snapped Collarbone

Reading Time: 3 minutes

He’s been keeping a secret.

On social media, Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo revealed that he has been in a terrible ATV accident.

(He has the X-rays to show that this was a bone-breaking mishap.)

Is he okay? Apparently so. And this mishap may explain a PR blunder from around the same time.

Oh no!

In January, just days before the Grammy Awards, Jason Bradley DeFord — whom we all know as Jelly Roll — suffered a terrible accident.

The controversial singer flipped his ATV.

The result was a broken collarbone.

If you’re only just hearing about this now, you’re not alone.

He kept it a secret until this past weekend.

Taking to his Instagram page, DeFord showed off his repaired ATV and shared a bit of recent history.

“Y’all just took this thing out for the first time since I flipped it,” he revealed.

“I broke my collarbone,” he announced.

Pacing around the vehicle, he confessed: “I was so scared to get back on this thing.”

DeFord reasoned: “I just knew if I didn’t get back on it sooner than later, I was just going to be more and more afraid of it.”

‘I thought I was gonna cry’

He had believed that he had “totaled” the vehicle. He credited one of his brothers for restoring the ATV to “brand new” condition.

As for why he chose this moment to share, he explained that it was the result of reflecting.

“I was just thinking, I was out there running all over the Grammys with a broken collarbone,” he recalled.

“Every time I hugged somebody that week, I wanted to scream,” DeFord admitted.

He added: “I just didn’t say it, but every time somebody squeezed me, dude, I thought I was gonna cry.”

Bunnie Xo also shared footage of her husband’s hospital visit.

“This happened in January, worst phone call to ever get,” she captioned on her Instagram post on Sunday.

“But we got thru it thank goodness,” she remarked.

And, Xo continued: “He’s healed completely.”

That is remarkable! Bone injuries, even particularly nasty bone bruises, can often take many months to heal.

Is this why he didn’t make good on his promise?

At the 2026 Grammy Awards, many award winners used their platforms to speak out against ICE’s ongoing campaign of terror in Minnesota and beyond.

DeFord essentially asked for a rain check, vowing to address ICE violence later that week.

He did not. It was odd to delay a statement already, whether or not he portrayed himself as too “dumb” to make a statement on the spot. It’s even weirder to skip the self-imposed deadline.

It’s possible that he simply asked for a delay because he was out of his mind with pain and didn’t feel up to saying anything coherent. (Many of us have been there, albeit with much smaller platforms.)

Still, it would be good (or possibly very bad) if he were to speak out now. We can all oppose fascist violence in our streets and in our neighbor’s homes.
